Action Figure Reviews

All the McFarlane figures are first rate, but the twelve inch Nolan Ryan is incredible! The detail on this figure is just perfect. I've seen porcelain sports figures at the Danbury Mint go for more than twice the price, and they don't hold a candle to the McFarlane figures as far as detail is concerned. I'm looking forward to more in the future. McFarlane rocks!

My son received this toy and the other 3 in the Dragon Morphin series for his birthday. It is bigger than the normal Power Ranger figures and seems more durable. He has played with his collection for hours at a time. He loves the fact that the figure can transform from a ranger to a dragon in a few easy steps. I would recommend this for anyone who has a Mystic Force fan. The only problem I see with this toy is that the swords are supposed to connect on to the figure's feet to make a tail for the dragon. They fall off easily but really aren't necessary to have fun with the toy. Anything that keeps him occupied like these toys do are worth the money :)

Purchased from toys-r-us and it came damaged. Too much of a hassle to return. He is very loud and the harder you push on him the louder he gets!

This 12 inch figure is one incredible figure, I bought this one for someone as a gift and he loved it. He loves the facial expressions of the figure and all his wacky comments.

I bought this toy for my son who is 11 months old. He is enjoying while playing with this toy and imitating Mr. Incredible.

This figure is amazeing she is one of the most dangerous sith warriors
ever.The sculpting is amazeing it looks very realistic and it has two lightsabers.

From the barbaric and bloody world of Rattatak comes Asajj Ventress, a young, fierce, merciless female disciple of Count Dooku with aspirations of becoming a Sith warrior that will never be realized. A fateful encounter with young Anakin Skywalker on Yavin 4 sealed her doom and helped to perpetuate his. This beautifully crafted figure from Hasbro's "Star Wars Unleashed" line makes an excellent display piece for the serious Star Wars fan. Frozen in a pose taken from the heat of her final battle, red-bladed lighsabers in hand (gifts from Count Dooku himself) and a cloud of dust behind her, the ferocity of this dark warrior is magnificently captured. Asajj is depicted here in a realistic style to better match the "Unleashed" figures that have come before her rather than with the smooth and stylized look of the "Clone Wars" animated series in which she made her saga debut. The plastic sculpture comes in two parts, the base and the figure itself, which connect by way of short metal pegs in the feet and holes in the base. While it can be tricky to get the back foot into its hole, the figure manages to stay in position quite well nevertheless. The result is an elegantly gruesome piece of affordable, mass-produced Star Wars art that any true fan should appreciate. The lightsaber blades are removable for a different look if desired, which may be helpful if your figure's blades are not straight enough for your scrupulous eye.

Let me get this out of the way first- while many Star Wars fanboys have always had a thing for Princess Leia when she's Jabba's prisoner (and for good reason), she pales to Asajj Ventress for me. Maybe it's just because I've always had a thing for women with shaved heads, but when I saw Asajj in the first volume of the Clone Wars animated series, I knew I had a new favorite Jedi/Sith. And it still pains me to know that she was booted out of Episode II in favor of Count Dooku for the main antagonist/lightsaber showdown. Fortunately, she got a nice Clone Wars figure, an amazing statuette that I'm still trying to find, and this awesome Unleashed figure. It's about time one of the "minor" characters gets the works.

While I don't care much for the majority of the Unleashed line (c'mon, does Darth Vader without his helmet look like a threat to you?), a few figures have made me want to start making room to display them all. None as much as Asajj Ventress here. She looks like she's about to make a killing blow- intensity in her eyes, a clenched jaw, two Sith lightsabers drawn, and dashing toward her target. Yes, she's one tough [synonym for "female dog"]. It's a shame to know that Mannequin Skywalker took her out in the series, though I like to think she lived in the end, especially with that tragic past. The detail's some of the best I've seen from this line of figures, and you can see every bit of tape on her torso, the folds in her battle dress, and the wrinkles in her forehead from the expression on her face. The paint job makes her look a bit dirty, which hints that this is from her fight with Anakin. That, and the jungle base she's on. She has a peg in each foot that you connect to the base, and truth be told, I could only get her left foot in the slot. The back one is a little short to make it into the slot, but it doesn't matter since it's concealed by dust on the base. Another minor detail that should be noted, though it may not apply in every case, is that the lightsaber blades (which are removable) were a little bent at the tips. I don't know if I should attempt at fixing them myself or emailing the company that makes the figure, but it's kind of annoying to have an awesome character with slightly flawed lightsaber blades. It's nothing too noticeable though, and no one that sees it will point it out unless they look for it, or are just a bastard like me on details like that. Either way, if you're thinking about buying this figure because you saw it in a store, you should inspect the lightsaber blades beforehand in case one may be broken.

Recently, I heard that the Unleashed line has been canceled, which is a shame since the cool ones have just now been coming out. I don't know if this is true or not, but it's an even bigger reason to pick up this figure. The price is good, the quality's great, and you're getting quite possibly the best Sith fighter to date. But again, you may want to display it in a high area safe from young children and pets, as lightsabers have always been an easily breakable item in the Star Wars toys.

We love Attactix. Our children love Attactix, so they were pretty excited about getting two battle cases for their birthdays. It was flimsy and was poorly constructed. It couldn't hold hardly any of our figures as they are too large to fit properly inside it. We returned both cases immediately and bought more figures and a rubbermaid storage box.

While this item was wildly overpriced when it first came out and suffers from serious design flaws, it is a must buy at 4 dollars.

It comes with an excellant clone character.

It adds a new dimemsion to Attacktix, capture the flag game.

For me and my son (5) it inspired all sorts of arena building.

You get an extra gun to use as you see fit (no rules).

The display/storage function works well.

Negative are the poor design. the pieces don't stack as they should so we are constantly repositioning the cases. The plastic is very slick and rolling figures sometimes don't click.

Bottom line a good buy at 4 dollars. I would suggest getting 3 or more as they are stackable and you can arrange them in a pyramid arraingement. (BTW, they do not lock together next to each other which I believe is another flaw.)

PS Looks like the price is back up to 21 dollars. Save your money. Not worth it.

I bought two cases and I enjoy them. I can fit Darth Sidious(S2), Darth Maul(S2), 3 Royal Guards(S2), 5 Jedi Knights(S2), Mace Windu(S2 starter), and Obi-wan Kenobi(S3) in one case. But I have to put Sidious, Maul, and Obi-Wan at the bottom.

I have a few figures that don't fit but the majority do.(I have about 50 figures.)

And sometimes I put the figure in backwards or with shooters I stick their weapon between the figures above.

I have problems with the "tix" sometimes but I usually just guess how many, if I know I can make it with some to spare, and then move the wheel with my finger.

Overall I find the battle case to be an exellent addition to the battle field as it adds new ways to play.

Well, I bought this action figure for my son, but also so that he could play superheros wth his older sister. I was disappointed that catwoman was very curvy, in fact a little obscene for a child. It only went downhill from there. Within 2 minutes of playtime- out of the package, her leg was broken.

To the parent who had such a complaint about the toy:

Did you not bother to read the age recommendation? It says for 13 and up. And what did you expect it to look like anyways? There's a picture right there and you can see every last little detail.

You're yet another lovely version of parents who don't pay enough attention to what they buy their kids.

This is an actually lovely collectors item and one of the few to actually be true to Catwoman. I personally say it is completely worth the money and if you have a problem with it, don't buy it. How hard is that?

the vikings person and the tigar arent fun my things i build are fun and their are not a lot to build and its easy i like challngeing stuff please rate how helpful that is

This set is great. The boat is much bigger than it looks on the picture and the price to size ratio is awsome.

This lego viking set is just the best for its price and size. when I first got the set I was surprized at all of the pieces. And then when I finished building the set I was surprized at the play value for the price. The dragon is also an AWSOME addition to the set.
